Snow Storm

Finally got out to check my cameras after the big snow storm a couple of weeks ago and I got some good pics. I'll start out with some from the storm.

It started snowing the afternoon of 1/22. By dusk we had around 6" on the ground and there was a lot of deer movement.

That night the storm really raged as you can see from the pics. Deer movement continued until around midnight and then I didn't get any deer pics here until two days later. During bad storms like this one the deer will move into the dense cedar thickets and hold up. By morning we had around 18" of snow on the ground. By the afternoon of the 23rd we had around 22" total for the storm.

Sunshine finally on the 24th. Snow falling from the trees triggered the camera. I got some nice shots of a beautiful red fox I'll post later.

About Me

I live in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia with my wife and every stray cat in the neighborhood. I got my first trail camera several years ago and have had as much fun using them as I do hunting...I must be getting old:). I followed Camera Trap Codgers blog for a while and decided to take the plunge and start my own blog to share my trailcam pics and experiences. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my blog.
